THE BAT IS MORE THAN A TEST...


The BAT helps students and recent graduates connect with financial employers worldwide.

The test was developed in partnership with premier financial institutions and university faculties around the world. Students who take the BAT uncover their strengths across a range of finance, business, career and personal competencies and gain insight into their suitability for careers in business and finance.

IT'S THE NEXT WAVE OF RECRUITING...


After taking the test, students can enter their scores anonymously into the BAT Talent Search, a tool used by employers to identify candidates for entry-level roles in business.

Employers can view student profiles anonymously and may elect to contact students with testing profiles complementary to their available career opportunities.
